in-service education of administrators is oneof the most imperative needs for the revitalization of education in our society.To provide those experiences which can effectively assist the trained professionalto modify his behavior,to obtain the new knowledge which he needs,and tobuild new skills based upon contemporary technology is probably the greatestchallenge facing the field of educational administration and all of its institutionsand agencies today.  \nThe sense of urgency conveyed by Keith Goldhammer in the above quotation is import-ant to note,but what is most significant is the author's charge of neglect which hascharacterized the in-service education of administrators.Until the recent research anddevelopment activities of The University Council for Educational Administration(UCEA)²and the Ontario Council for Leadership in Educational Administration(OCLEA),3 thisneglect has been most serious with respect to basic research on the specific needs offadministrators in higher education.Consequently,there has been a general failure todevelop research-based in-service programs which meet the needs identified by adminis-trators in the field.  \nSupport for these generalizations can be found,on a relatively broad scale,as earlyas 1966 in the results of a
